Shooting with the zebra pattern
You can set the camcorder to display a zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) in the portion of
the picture on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder with a subject whose brightness
exceeds a certain level. When the ZEBRA selector is set to 100, the portion of the picture
where zebra pattern appears is an area of high brightness and overexposure. You can
check the picture level of a subject by displaying the zebra pattern. Use the zebra
pattern as a guide for adjusting the exposure and shutter speed so that you can get the
desired picture.
Set the ZEBRA selector to 70 or 100 in standby or memory mode.
